Meanwhile, in the core region of the Extreme North Land. This was a forbidden zone for life, a region where the laws of ice and snow were shown to the extreme. The leaden-gray sky hung low, as if it were within arm's reach. An endless blizzard, like a white beast, roared and raged between heaven and earth.
The cold wind was no longer just moving air. It had changed into countless cold, bone-scraping steel blades. As far as the eye could see, there was only a boundless, ghostly white. Those ten-thousand-year glaciers stood silently like ancient giants. They flickered with a deep blue and very cold light.
Just as the Ice Empress's scorpion tail hook was about to touch the space between Tang Chen's eyebrows, everything changed. Her hook contained the power of Ultimate Ice. At the very second its deep blue light hit his eyes, a strange sound filled the air.
An incredible and vast aura suddenly woke up. It felt like a god who had slept for a very long time was finally opening its eyes. This power erupted outwards in all directions from Tang Chen and Xiao Ruier. Instantly, a dazzling golden light pushed away the ghostly white and the bitter cold. It looked like a noble golden sun had risen in this frozen kingdom.
Within the golden light, the sounds of a dragon were faintly heard. Auspicious energy streamed in thousands of strands. The Ice Empress's deadly strike hit this sudden golden light. Her attack was like a clay ox entering the sea. It was instantly neutralized and broken apart by an even greater power. The next moment, the Ice Empress watched with shock. The dazzling golden light quickly shrank and condensed.
It eventually turned into a huge figure standing between heaven and earth. The golden giant held a golden dragon spear. It stood tall and majestic in the wind and snow. Just by standing there, it seemed to become the center of this world. Even the raging blizzard around it stopped and moved back.
The golden giant appeared and acted quickly. Its pair of huge eyes burned with golden flames. It locked onto the Ice Empress who was right in front of it. Without any hesitation, it thrust the golden dragon spear forward.
This thrust looked simple, but it was very fast. It was so fast that the eye could not even see it move. Where the spear tip passed, a faint black crack appeared in space. All cold air and energy were destroyed before the spear tip could even touch them.
A loud and crisp explosion drowned out the roar of the wind. This sound shook the very soul of anyone listening. The tip of the golden dragon spear struck the Ice Empress's tail. Her scorpion tail hook was supposed to be indestructible, but the spear was stronger.
The Ice Empress felt a terrifying energy hit her. Her entire tail was shaken backward by the immense force. Its deep blue light instantly went dim. She could not stop herself from sliding back several dozen meters. Her body carved two deep trenches into the thick ice surface.
She asked herself what this thing could be. She abruptly lifted her head to look at the golden giant. It gave off an aura that made her soul tremble. For the first time, her emerald green eyes showed shock and horror. This was something she did not understand at all. After a brief moment of being distracted, her cold voice finally shook. She asked what it was.
The appearance of the golden giant completely changed the battle. The spear shadows were like a dragon. Each thrust tore through the sky. Each move carried the power to shatter everything. The Ice Empress moved like lightning.
She wove through the sky filled with spear shadows. Her diamond scorpion claws and deadly tail hook turned into green light. They collided fiercely with the golden dragon spear. The air was filled with the deafening sounds of metal clashing. The energy from the fight splashed out and destroyed the nearby glaciers.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm spoke from Tang Chen's mind. He sounded very worried. He told Bingbing to stop. He said she was no match for them and that they should talk it over. The Ice Empress was very angry now. Her battle intent had been fully ignited. She was one of the three Great Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North Land.
Her pride would not let her run away. She told Tianmeng to shut up. She said once she broke this shell, she would drag him out and eat him. Her attacks became even more fierce than before.
Tang Chen's cold voice came from inside the giant. He called her a stubborn fool. At that moment, an even more scary and violent aura came from the giant. Three blood-red spirit rings appeared around the golden giant's body. These were hundred-thousand-year spirit rings. Suddenly, they all exploded at the same time.
The origin power surged like a giant wave into the giant's body. Its golden torso grew larger. The light on its body burned as fiercely as a real sun. The golden dragon spear in its hand made a dragon roar that reached the clouds.
This was a Ring Explosion. It was a Ring Explosion of three hundred-thousand-year spirit rings all at once. Facing this destructive energy, the Ice Empress looked very scared. She felt a real threat to her life. She used her Ice Empress Body Protection. A thick layer of solid ice armor covered her body. It looked like dazzling diamond stars.
Her defense power rose to its highest level. Then she used her Domain of Eternal Frost. A field of absolute zero spread out from her. Inside this domain, everything seemed to be frozen, even thoughts. This was her natural domain, and being in the North made it twice as strong.
However, this was still not enough. Facing the strike from the Ring Explosion, the Ice Empress felt the shadow of death. She roared and used the Wrath of the Ice Empress. She used all of her power. She compressed her energy and her spirit power to the limit.
Her claws and tail hook merged into one. They turned into a cold ray of light. It looked like it could freeze time itself. It carried her four hundred thousand years of pride and anger. She met the golden dragon spear as it pierced toward her.
The golden dragon spear carried the energy of the Ring Explosion. It looked like a burning golden meteor. The Ice Empress's attack was like a cold abyss that froze space. When the two powers hit each other, the world went silent. An energy sphere grew large and then shrank quickly. Then a huge explosion happened.
A shockwave spread out in a ring. The ice field below had been there for thousands of years. Now, it shattered like glass. Huge blocks of ice were thrown into the sky. They were turned into powder by the energy. The dark clouds in the sky were torn apart. You could see cracks in space behind them.
The struggle lasted only for a second. The golden spear light was too strong. It broke through the Domain of Eternal Frost. It shattered the diamond ice armor of the Ice Empress. Finally, it struck her cold ray of light. A faint cracking sound was heard.
The Ice Empress's best attack lost to the golden dragon spear. She let out a cry of pain and disbelief. Her body flew backward like a kite with a broken string. She smashed into a glacier and got stuck deep inside. Her energy became very weak.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm began to cry in Tang Chen's mind. He called out to his beloved Bingbing. He asked if she was okay. He told her he had tried to warn her. He said he wanted to help her become a god, not fight.
But as soon as he finished speaking, everything stopped. The entire core region of the Extreme North Land seemed to pause. The wind and the snow stopped moving. Everything solidified at that moment.
A new pressure appeared. It was much purer and stronger than the Ice Empress. It felt like the very beginning of ice and snow. The sky was no longer green or gray. It turned into a deep blue color, like a huge sapphire over the world. The temperature dropped even more. It was so cold that even the air felt frozen. Then, a female voice spoke.
She sounded very cold and calm. She had the voice of a queen. She asked the human if he thought he was strong. She told him to take one palm strike from her. A huge palm made of pure ice appeared in the air above the golden giant.
